Detection of Gadolinium in Surrogate Nuclear Fuel Debris Using Fiber-Optic Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy under Gamma Irradiation

Fiber-optic laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (FO-LIBS) was applied to a qualitative and quantitative analysis of gadolinium (Gd) in mixed oxide samples, simulating nuclear fuel debris in the damaged reactors of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The surrogate debris was prepared from m...
